Nandroid Backup?

Hello
What is a nandroid backup? How do i do a nandroid backup? I have a nexus one flashed CM 6.00 RC2
Thanks in advance

basically a nandroid is a image of your phone, like a backup in windows, when you restore a nandroid it puts your phone back how it was when you made it, with data and apps and everything.
well, first you gotta boot into recovery.
which did you install? Clockwork or Amon_Ra? Not that they are that different
Then go to backup/restore and select nandroid backup then restore it whenevery your phone/rom is not working correct.

I installed ROM manager and flashed the clockwork mod. In the ROM manager do i enter recovery mode?

I don't know of it possible with RA but with Thor cwm you can do the real format , did you try that now for your market problems.

I have still my market problem
I am now on CWR 5.0.0.0 (thor2002ro rev 1.3.4)
I move before to RA but I can't restore my backup I do the day I buy the tablet so i move back to CWR
I do restore on android 3.0 and I arrive to open market but said error server
so Im back on your rom with same problem
I don't arrive to change the market apk in system/app with ES explorateur.it saids impossible to delete and copy phonesky
and with your method for erase completly I have always my internal content
so i made errors and that's always the same S...T
in CWR 5.0 in backup and restore I have
full backup, full restore, advanced backup, advanced restore and go back
I don't have the choice toggle backup internal...
the only I have is inside advanced backup ,all categories are on yes (backup boot, recovery,system,data,cache,sd-ext,flexrombct+ebt+pt+gp1)
I don't know what to do
thank's and sorry for inconvinience again

[solved]can not restore after efs corruption (online nandroid/twrp)

hi !
i ran into a problem and i couldn´t find a working fix(if any) by myself, hope the community can help.
i had an issue with corrupted efs. i was able to restore efs from an older backup i made with twrp - phone is working again.
i then restored my latest backup which is made with the online nandroid backup app.
it restores but all my apps, settings - everything beside custom boot animation is gone.
when i open the backup in the nandroid backup manager manager, i am able to restore apps manually, so they are present in this backup.
in twrp, normally it says "backup completed". this does not happen, at the end of the process the ui resets(teamwin splashscreen showing) but no error is shown.
already wiped, flashed stock rom and twrp again with odin.
thanks for helping

it´s the international 9005, snapdragon.
i use x-note 6.0 rom.

problem solved.
it didn´t have anything to do with the efs corruption.
all online nandroid backups i made were faulty.
tried several things to make it work.
seems like reinstalling busybox finally fixed it.

can't extract apps from nandroid made otg with twrp

My phone was stuck in a bootloop where it could only get to recovery. Using the recovery I created a nandroid backup to the a USB stick using an OTG cable. I flashed the stock firmware and got things setup but I can't restore individuals apps from the nandroid. I copied the nandroid from the usb to sd card but it still doesn't work. I tried restoring apps using Nandroid Manager but when the app is launched it gives the error "app has stopped, close app". For some reasons sms succesfully restored but no user apps. I tried restoring with AppExtractor but it gives the error "unable to generate apk listing"
I also have titanium backup pro but couldn't get it to find the location of the nandroid to try extracting with it.
Any ideas? I really just want my messages back from Whatsapp.
My phone had stock Nougat with busybox installed and elementalx kernel. It should be the same environment now as when the backups were made.

@twoplustwo can you tell us why your phone went into bootloop ? If you know then you can restore /data from TWRP and revert the cause of bootloop..
Also can you confirm it's in capital letters as you have mentioned in small letters in another thread that twrp/backups rename them to TWRP/BACKUPS or move them to internal storage.. (in stock ROM if i am not wrong, TWRP folder is not accessible, so try to install custom ROM for temporary purpose, then move backup to internal and then try with titanium backup..)

yes it was in capital letters
the problem in the first place that sent the phone into a bootloop was I installed the OTA security update. I'm running stock rom but I guess because it was rooted and had busybox, that made it incompatible with the update?

If you have TWRP and take update, it don't cause bootloop, but it cause your device to boot into recovery when you turn on your device.. can you confirm if it was bootloop or problem of booting to TWRP ?

I am unable to copy the nandroid to internal storage. I tried using usb to computer and it just does nothing. I tried root explorer and it says 'copy failed' and file manager says 'cannot load'. This only happens with the TWRP folder inside the internal memory specifically.

I can confirm it was only booting TWRP. So even when I tried to boot to system it just booted to TWRP again.

You don't need to worry,
Do you have any important data for any app currently ?
Take backup of new important data with titanium.. (and then again take backup from TWRP, for safety )
And then simply restore /data from TWRP backup, it will give you older data back without any bootloop but you will loose new data/messages that you got after flashing/ on current running ROM..

Thank you sir! To confirm, when backing up to USB stick with OTG, does the format of the USB matter? Is fat32 safe?

Not familiar with different formats, it should work.. bu t
You can backup to internal storage too, since you don't have to flash fastboot ROM again..

Can't restore twrp backup.

After restoring pixel experience backup my phone got stuck at the MI logo. Then I restored MIUI 9 backup and then after the MI logo, it says "Encryption was interrupted" and I have to factory reset my phone. Is there any solution? I want to go to the backup state. I don't want to reset my phone.

Bro try this I think it will , as I tried it work perfectly.
1. Install the rom which u have backup and want to recover data that ROM .
2. After installation go to restore and
And select
Tick to data to restore only data from that backuy .
And flash this .
This will backup your data perfectly ?

Boot to twrp and "format data" from wipe section and then restore your old backup.
